1. O sacred head surrounded by crown of piercing thorn! O bleeding head, so wounded Reviled and put to scorn, Death’s pallid due come o’er thee the glow of life decays, yet angels hosts adore thee, and tremble as they gaze.
2. We see thy strength and vigor, Decreasing in the strife, and death with cruel gigor, depriving thee of life Lord, by bitter passion, God’s justice satisfied, A holy people fashion, Redeemed and sanctified.
3. O Jesus we adore thee Our thorn-crowned Lord and King We bow our heads before thee, and to thy Cross we cling, O give us strength to bear it, with patience and with love, That we may truly merits A glorious crown above.
